The Bucket List (Kellic)

14. Happy Birthday

It's Vic's birthday today and I plan on kind of spoiling him as much as I can without being outside too much. Actually, we won't have to go outside at all.

I talked to Mrs. Fuentes and she let me come over right after Vic and Mike left so that I can come over so she and I could decorate his room for when he get backs.

He should be home any minute now. To put emphasis on my little plan, I haven't texted him back all day. My plan is to make him a little worried so when he gets home, he'll be all happy. I don't know what made me want to do but that's what I was able to come up with.

What I did was hang a banner saying 'Happy 60th Birthday' to make fun of him because he's eighteen now, pink balloons everywhere, my present wrapped up and sitting on his bed, streamers hanging from both his closet and doorway, and, to top it off, a little collage of pictures of us hanging on his wall.

I hear the front door open and Mike's voice booming through the house.

"I'm sure he didn't forget. He's probably saving something for later." I hear Mike say to Vic.

"I don't know. He hasn't even sent me a text. Do you think somethings wrong?" He asks.

"His mom was at school today. I'm sure everything is fine." Mike says reassuringly before I hear him open and close his door. Here we go. The door in front of me and Vic jumps, almost falling to the floor, because of the streamers.

I giggle when he forcefully pushes them away and looks at me with wide eyes.

"Happy Birthday, babe." I laugh.

"I thought you forgot." He breathes out, walking over to me and pulling me into a hug.

"I would never." I assure him, pecking his lips but he wasn't having it. He places his hand on the back of head and keeps my lips on his. I step back, startled but ruined the moment by stepping on a balloon and popping it.

I squeal and jump at Vic. He chuckles and lifts me off the ground. I wrap my legs around his waist as he locks his hands under my bum.

"You scared me today, though." He whispers.

"I'm sorry. I wanted to surprise you." I tell him, feeling kind of bad.

"Definitely surprised me. Why does the sign say 60th birthday?" He asks.

"Because you're an old man now." I tell him jokingly.

"You do realize you're going to be eighteen in.." He pauses and counts the months on his fingers which meant he was tapping my bum. I giggle and bury my head into his neck. "two months." He finishes.

"But I'm still a minor." I say then he gasps.

"Dude, if we do anything sexual, I could go to jail." He says.

"It's a good thing we don't do anything sexual." I say, kissing his forehead. "Now, you should open up what I got for you." I tell him.

"You got me something?" He asks. I nod and he sets me down on his bed, grabbing the little box I put the tickets in, and sits down beside me. "I'm hoping you didn't pay much for these." He says.

"It wasn't too much." I say, though I didn't really pay much for them.

"Alright." He says and starts tearing into the wrapping paper then open the small box. His mouth falls agape and his eyes bounce from me to the box.

"Happy birthday." I say, smiling at his reaction.

"You fucking didn't." He says in shock, pulling out the VIP pass and ticket.
